What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.VIII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 29 December 2011
With 2012 almost upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

Anne Akiko Meyers - Smile
Just exploring the last 30 LPs I bought from a record store about to close
due to owner's retirement.
Interesting LP though.
just got my copy on lovely thick vinyl from the US. Wonderful .......and a fab pressing!
What is the deal when buying from the US, do you have to pay any extra for 'duty' or vat?
Who are the best US online dealers for vinyl?
Many thanks, Andy.
Cheers,
EJ
A (for me) new discovery.
I love the sound of Naive recordings. It's been added to my favourite labels.
some hangover music on vinyl.......
some contemplation, then a change of tempo
Laura J Martin "The Hangman Tree"
The Pogues were an amazing band at this time - I saw the great man about 5-6 years ago - he turned up about 10 hours late and could hardly stand and there had been various rumours of him not making it all so the crowd were pretty agitated which added to the atmosphere - one of the best gigs I ever went to (amazingly he remembered all the words...), on the black stuff
Laura Veirs "July Flame"
some electronic stuff...
pinemartin - here it is http://pinemarten.bandcamp.com/
Jewellers - Sleep Education http://jewellersmusic.com/album/sleep-education
The human voice of the viola da gamba, the first sounds of the morning.
Debs,
If you liked MA's Marin Marain disc, this is a must.

On vinyl....nice!! 
10,000 Maniacs "The Wishing Chair"
A polished follow up to his debut 'Focal Point'; recommended to PT/SW fans.
1st & 3rd, completed very early this morning.
Otto Klemperer - the witty sage (from a 1960 (Feb 23 - March 2nd) recording of Wagner which would be released for the occasion of his 75th Birthday on May 14th):
"At one point, a difficult 'cello entry, the leading 'cellist of the Philharmonia, Raymond Clark, asked for a particularly clear beat, "In Order" as he said, "that we may get it together for the first time in history". "The first time in English history, Mr Clark," corrected Klemperer.
Aleg, thanks for the reminder. I have Beethoven's Cello Sonatas lined up next in the queue this morning.
3x LP set. A nice collection of Bowie.
Played earlier, double vinyl.
Bruckner Symphony #5, Günter Wand directing the Berliner Philharmoniker.
Cheers,
EJ
